About this listen
The shooting of Charlie Kirk has shaken the political and cultural world, raising hard questions about free speech, safety, and what it means to debate ideas in a time this divided. We talk about Kirk’s legacy, whether you agreed with him or not, as someone who pushed for open dialogue and challenged people to treat opponents as humans instead of enemies. From the ripple effects across podcasting and media, to the impact on energy policy, academic freedom, and how we argue about politics, this conversation digs into what feels like a turning point for free expression in America.
